The Mazda RX-7 Type R (FD3S), also known as the Mazda ɛ̃fini RX-7 Type R (FD3S) from 1991 - 1997, is part of the third generation of the Mazda RX-7. It is often known by its chassis code "FD3S", or simply as the FD.
Information[]
The Mazda RX-7 is a front/mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive, rotary engine-powered sports car that was manufactured and marketed by Mazda from 1978 to 2002 across three generations, all of which made use of a compact, lightweight Wankel rotary engine. The third generation was known as the FD. The ɛ̃fini Type R model was the lightweight sports version of the FD.
Its engine, the 13B-REW, was the first-ever mass-produced sequential twin-turbocharger system to be exported from Japan.
